Thing 12

I have just gained much experience because I have made many mistakes trying to embed code for Voki and other widgets, this is the only one that has worked for me so far. That's alright though because this I would probably use the most. After pasting the others and posting I get this error message; "Your HTML can not be accepted." If anyone can help, please do. I will email the good people at RESA for their assistance as I really like Voki and would love to use it. Anyway to continue, I do belong to Facebook. I don't remember why I first got a page, but I know I didn't intend to be on it much, but I do go on quite regularly. It is a good way to see what family and friends are up to, however it does not compare to face-t0-face meet and greets! I don't write too much I mostly just check in to see if anything is new or interesting. I think the reason kids like places like MySpace is because it is a way to be constantly connected to what is going on, and that is good and bad. It is good because kids need to have connections, they need to feel a part of something and that they belong. It is bad though because how one interacts in person is very different from the way one interacts on-line, it is as if the social rules no longer apply and one can say anything one wants! I do think young people today are lacking in social skills, and can't appreciate the art of conversation. Advancements always have an up side and a down side, and it is important to recognize what is lost by what is being gained and if it is important to not lose it, then we need to make sure we continue to teach it!
